I'm writing an application in which I would be able to turn off/shutdown/power off the phone.
From what I read around the net there is no way to turn off the device from an application. Is this true?
On rooted phones you could use the reboot -p command, but:
Users who have a rooted phone are very few, I think maybe 1-5%.
From what I read reboot does not unmount filesystems.
If there is no way to turn off the phone without using the root command, what is the correct procedure to do that using reboot -p?
Have you checked the way the power off dialog turns the phone off?. It's a system service, though, and it runs with root priviledges, but you could find something to make it work there
You mean this? I tried to use the method shutdownAfterDisablingRadio() but I seem that can be used only by the operative system and not by custom applications, is that wrong?
The thing that worries me is that into 16000 applications on the Market there is not one that turns off the phone without requiring root permissions.
Have you considered using "am" to execute the Android system call via shell from within your application? IANAP -- I don't know the ins and outs of using AM to execute system calls, but I *do* know that it /can/ do so.
They have an app like this already...its called "quick boot"
Power off your phone, power off into bootloader, and power off into recovery mode?

Very interesting! I did not know this tool. I tried to start some intent but have not yet managed to turn off the phone.
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN }
Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN flg=0x10000000 }

Exactly.
In any case, if there is no alternative, I'd still know about the correct procedure for rooted devices.

Thanks for your reply.
How to run a command as root I already knew:
Code:
public static boolean runRootCommand(String command) {
Process process = null;
DataOutputStream os = null;
try {
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes(command+"\n");
os.writeBytes("exit\n");
os.flush();
process.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("*** DEBUG ***", "Unexpected error - Here is what I know: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
finally {
try {
if (os != null) {
os.close();
}
process.destroy();
} catch (Exception e) {
// nothing
}
}
return true;
}
[...]
runRootCommand("reboot -p");
I would be interested to know the correct sequence of commands to execute to turn off the phone without the risk of corrupting the filesystem.
I do not think is sufficient to run "reboot -p". Or it is?
@xidominicanoix: I know su doesn't work on non-rooted phones. I was answering JD82 for the procedure on rooted phones.

On linux, reboot is the same command as "shutdown -r -q now". According to this manpage (i'm not on my Ubuntu machine right now to check there):
When the shutdown time arrives, shutdown notifies all users tells init not to spawn more getty's, writes the shutdown time into the /var/log/wtmp file, kills all other processes on the system, sync's, unmounts all the disks, sync's again, waits for a second, and then either terminates or reboots the system.

So yes, reboot *should* unmount the filesystems first avoiding corruption.
Hi senab and thanks for your reply.
In Ubuntu I restart without problems using "reboot", but I read this about the android version:
The basic command to reboot the device is called "reboot". Merely writing reboot will perform a restart of the device. The command will call "sync" before rebooting the device, but will not unmount the file systems. This is up to you. If a full system is running on the device, this might prove to be slightly difficult, and many people just reboot and hope for the best.

I would not release an application that causes damage to the user's filesystem.
sync is *usually* enough to avoid corrupting filesystems.
When it isn't is when the space between the sync and the actual reboot allows something to mess with the filesystem. Without looking at the actual implementation details of the reboot command, it may, in fact, be done in a way that is actually thread-SAFE.
Actually, since this reboot command actually sends a signal to the kernel, I believe that it is, in fact, thread safe.
Of course, another way to deal with this is to do something like remounting all corruptable filesystems as read-only just before issuing the reboot command. That would include /data, /sdcard, and possibly (if using apps2sd) /system/sd. I believe that this is excessive though.
Note: the reason why shutdown and reboot aren't available without root is simple: You don't want some douchebag writing a malicious program that randomly reboots any phone that it happens to be installed on.
[HOW TO] Make your own Android Toolkit for Windows using C#
In this tutorial it will show you how to use Windows C# to create your very own toolkit for use of simple ADB commands.
Such as:
- Rebooting your Device.
- Rebooting to Recovery/CWM or Bootloader.
- Installing APK's directly to your device.
- Installing general files to the SDCARD
- Pushing and Pulling files
Or if you look into it enough you can Implement such features as:
- Rooting your Device.
- Unlocking/Locking Bootloader.
- File Permissions.
( These won't Be covered in this Tutorial, as they require much more time, especially Rooting. )
Knowledge required
- A set up Visual C# Studio ready to use on your PC. It can be downloaded here : http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads
- General knowledge about C# such as using buttons, text boxes and the actual studio.
Getting Started
So once you have set up your Visual C# studio, create a windows Form application and mess around with the user interface a little if you like to make it to your taste. :highfive:
So here is a picture of my preview:
I have applied a few different ADB tasks buttons as you can see, Including APK install using a Textbox to store your chose directory of the selected file.( As well as a few colour and form name changes to make it more appealing )
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Writing the ADB commands to the chosen Buttons in your application.
Now we want to click on the ADB reboot button until it changes to the code layout as such...
Now we have this layout we want to add the namespaces :
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
These will allow use for CMD and Process features.
Adding ADB commands to the Buttons
How you have your ADB reboot button code ready to write to.
Use this function: and insert it in between the two Curly brackets
{
var process = Process.Start("CMD.exe", "/c adb reboot");
process.WaitForExit();
}
[/B]
Such as:
MessageBox.Show("Device is Now Rebooting..");
The line uses CMD.exe as the process which will run it as an application and use the /c (command) to execute "adb reboot".
Which will reboot the connected device as long as it's android..
So once you have gone through using the correct ADB commands your application code will look like this..
The ADB wont work yet when running a debug version, so don't try and execute any commands yet.. The adb.exe and a couple of other files need to be stored in the same folder as your toolkit as a resource for ADB to run off of.
Using Textboxes and OpenFileDialog to Install .APK files.
So once you have clicked the two buttons and textbox.
Setting you up ready to code it will look like this:
ADDING CODE
Assuming you have added OpenFileDialog to your Form Design!
We can now add code to the 2 buttons and text box.
It will look like this after adding the following to segments of code.
Add this to Open APK button:
openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";
openFileDialog1.Title = "Select your APK..";
openFileDialog1.FileName = "Choose File..";
openFileDialog1.CheckFileExists = true;
openFileDialog1.CheckPathExists = true;
openFileDialog1.Filter = " .APK|*.apk";
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
textBox1.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName;
}
And add this to Install APK file button:
var process = Process.Start("CMD.exe", "/c adb install " + textBox1.Text);
process.WaitForExit();
MessageBox.Show(".APK is Installed", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Now' that is almost it!
Once you have saved and Built a release version of the tool.
Put the .exe from release of the saved directory into a folder ALONG with ADB.exe, ADBWinAPI.DLL and ADBWINUSBAPI.DLL
These ADB files a part of the Android platform tools from the SDK manager. You should already have these if you want to do this process
- If not just google them or download the SDK manager and find them.
Now That's it!
I think I have covered most parts if you want to write your own processes for ADB to execute feel free to do so..
I thought it maybe nice for people who liking personalizing their devices to also personalize toolkits for themselves also!
Thanks and Enjoy if you have any Issues or problems feel free to ask!

Thanks for the feedback everyone (Y) ....
Not sure if everyone has no idea what C# is or Just like using developer stuff..
Thanks....
Thanks Man.. i was looking for the same... Can you give me tutorials for rooting and other aspects... Im wating for you....
Also, you could show them how to integrate my AndroidLib .NET library into it to handle all of the adb stuff
Nice!! Reserved below Also!! I don't have experience with C# but I can learn by mistakes!
Very nice tutorial!
As long it is a nexus device the rooting and flash cwm thing is the same thing except you're using fastboot commands.
kind regards
How can I get output text from cmd.exe? For example, if I have another textbox, and I want to display text. Text can be
Waiting for device ......(in case device not found)
Adb server start......depend on cmd.exe output.

+1 on that, it's the shortest way and it was the reason behind Droid Manger existence, thus this tutorial shows what goes inside your lib and it's useful for those who are learning C# for the first time, or never interacted with a process in their app :good:

Saw this last week, never programmed with C# but thought what the hell i have already done C++ at uni, some java for making an android app
so i downloaded VS2012 opened up google and went nuts, i now have a toolkit so far, downloads the sdk, extracts the sdk ( yea i know i could just pack the adb .dll's and .exe but while learning the language i might as well learn other stuff.) and i have backup/restore options for /sdcard/ and /dcim/ folders and a folder picker for backing up, contacts backup/restore ( looking to create something that will export it as a CSV or something)
so a big thanks for shedding some light on where to get started on this, now i cant stop and want to make a toolkit will loads of features lol :victory:

Your variable "args" should include the path for Fastboot.exe or your code should be like this (I'm using an example path in this example, you must replace it with your own path):
startInfo.Arguments = "/Q/C " + @"C:\AdbTools\fastboo.exe " + args;
OR
startInfo.Arguments = String.Join(" ", "/Q/C", Path.Combine("C:","AdbTools","fastboot.exe"), args);
(The first parameter passed in String.Join refers to separator string)

try this, enter it after you define ProcessStartInfo (let's say you named it just like in the code snippet I gave)
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
now window should disappear.
if not, remove this line and keep the one I gave you in this comment: startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

it's possible but a bit tricky, you can start by making the "Label" / "TextBlock" / "TextBox" or whatever UIElement you are using and set it's background to black and it's foreground to white, then choose "Console" font family, this should get you "Close enough" to the same output style
Note for anyone passing by this page:
When dealing with Directories in C#, ALWAYS use this code snippet, I will explain why at the end of this comment:
Path.Combine("Root Dir","SubDir1","SubDir2","File_You_Want_To_Use");
Where: Root Dir could be any logical partition you have on your HDD or the root dir of your application.
in my case in Droid Manager I have an internal variable (called: ExecutablePath) that saves the path of Droid Manager after installation, so in my case when I want to call an Init.d script example I use the following code snippet:
Path.Combine(ExecutablePath,"Initd_Scripts", "File_Name");
When wanting to add multiple strings together use this following code snippet:
String.Join(Separator String, params string Arguments);
Those ensure the best result, by that I mean be sure system will read them they way they are intended to be read, if you use "+" or "\\" or "@" there might be some misunderstanding by the system which happened to me when I started learning programming 7 years ago.
Good Luck

Thx for the info
but... "Path.Combine" tells me only 2 strings can be combined so its useless for me coz i get the path via "Application.StartupPath" and i have 2 subfolder this means i have 3 strings to combine^^
thats why i set some vars in my form...
//KIT Vars
private static string KIT = Application.StartupPath + "\\";
private static string ADB = KIT + "adb\\adb.exe";
private static string FBT = KIT + "adb\\fastboot.exe";
also fastboot will not output anything
i googled a bit and found some threads... in this threads they say fastboot dun use the "flush" command (!?) this will mean the output is not grab able...
i think they are right^^ coz adb or cmd it self will output something via my function only fastboot returns nothing...

Nope not true, Path.Combine takes more than two args. I've passed to it 4 args in Droid Manager, here is a screenshot about it:
Also be sure that you remove this:
using System.Windows.Shapes;
and replace it with:
using System.IO;
so that the correct "Path" class is being called. if it's not there then no need to do anything just be sure System.IO is added.
Also "Flush" command means the same as in the image below:
Fastboot does show output but on certain commands, for example when you type: Fastboot devices
you will get an output IF AND ONLY IF you have a connected device in Fastboot mode.
Or when you unlock a Sony Xperia bootloader you will get output.

Hmmm... Windows Form, to be honest the last time I worked with Windows Form application was two years ago, since 2011 I program WPF projects, which Microsoft is focusing on + it is more flexible when it comes to App UI and data bindings, that's why I use it.
There are differences between Windows Form and WPF unfortunately :-/
By the way if you consider switching to WPF you need to also learn XAML language (not XML, it's XAML) so you can play with the UI the way you want.
Good luck
